Profile:
A consistent performer behind the stumps over a long career with Lancashire,
with the ability to score useful lower-order runs, Warren Hegg was 30 before
he achieved full international recognition. Selected to tour West Indies
with an A squad in 1991, illness prevented him taking part, and a loss of
confidence kept him from further international honours until an A tour to
Australia in 1996-97. Chosen at last in the full England squad to tour
Australia in 1998-99, Hegg expected to carry out the tour as understudy to
the captain, Alec Stewart.
However, England's dismal performance in the Ashes series, and a growing
perception that Stewart was being overburdened, prompted a re-think after
the third Test. To free up the captain to open the batting, Hegg made his
Test debut in Melbourne on Boxing Day. He held on to his place for the final
Test at Sydney, but although he kept tidily he failed to make much
impression with the bat.
After Stewart reverted to all three roles in the World Cup the following
summer, Hegg was overlooked at the start of the series against New Zealand,
when the selectors instead chose the young Notts keeper Chris Read. By the
end of the summer Stewart had reverted to the role of wicket-keeper batsman,
which he held for another two years.
Stewart's unavailability for the 2001 tour of India prompted the
selectors to consider Hegg again. After another admirable season with
Lancashire in 2001 (in which he had averaged over 40 with the bat) he was
included in the winter Test squad along with the young Essex wicket-keeper
James Foster. However it was Foster who played throughout the two Test
series in India and New Zealand. To Hegg's disappointment, the selectors
reverted to Stewart when Foster had the misfortune to break an arm in the
nets at the start of the domestic season.
Hegg holds a notable record of 11 catches in a first-class match, set in
1989. His batting, like his keeping, is consistent and has steadily
improved. Hegg was appointed captain of Lancashire in 2002. (Copyright
